THE SECOND AND THIRD 
SELEUCID COINAGE OF TYRE 


FOREWORD 


In accepting the generous invitation of Mr. 
Edward T. Newell, President of the American 


_ Numismatic Society, to continue his investigation 


into the Seleucid Mint of Tyre, some sort of ex- 
planation should be made. My interest in the 
Seleucid mint of Tyre began, as philosophy is said 
to begin, in wonder. A good many years ago grave 
doubts arose in my mind as to whether a tetra- 
drachm of Antiochus III, apparently bearing the 
recognized monogram of Tyre, was really issued 


from that mint at all. The authorities of the day 


said it was: I ventured to think it was not and so 
began to study the mint of Tyre. As my numis- 
matic studies are compelled to be intermittent from 
the very nature of my calling, Mr. Newell was able 
to anticipate me and reached conclusions after 
which I had been blindly groping. . 

From Antiochus III to Demetrius I, Mr. Newell 
has elucidated the coinage of Tyre. The historical 
value of his conclusions is incalculable. Without 
them the numismatic history of Tyre is nonsense 


I 


2 THE SECOND AND Trim 


and any classification of the Seleucid series merely 
fantastic. Further, the principles he has outlined 
for the earlier coinage, if applied generally, will solve 
many of.the puzzles and make this wonderful Seleu- 
cid series an open book. The coinage for Tyre has 
been classified by Mr. Newell up to the beginning of 
the reign of Alexander Balas. My work begins. at 
that point and endeavors to throw some light on 
certain of the questions which arise. 


THE SECOND COINAGE 


From Alexander Balas onward, the activities of 
the Seleucid mint of Tyre are perfectly straight- 
forward. There are no problems of min cee ae 
which is the real fun of numismatics. 

The minor problems are possibly, from the nature 
of the case, totally insoluble. I have made an at- 
tempt to solve one of them, but I claim no finality 
for the solution I propose. 

After the defeat and death of Demetrius I, the ~ 
Saviour, the mighty hunter of the House of Seleucus, 
Alexander Balas, the putative son of Antiochus 
Epiphanes became the Greek King in Syria. He 
owed his victory and his throne to the powerful 
support of Ptolemy Philometor of Egypt. How 
real that support was may be gauged from the fact 
that as soon as ever Alexander was established in 
his kingdom, Ptolemy forced him to marry his 
daughter Cleopatra, and the Seleucid court was 
removed from Antioch to Ptolemais, where the 


SELEUCID COINAGE OF TYRE 3 


marriage took place “with great pomp, as the man- 
ner of kings is.’ 

This Egyptian alliance had an fanediate effect 
upon the coinage of Tyre. A new standard of 
weight was introduced and a new type, both 
Ptolemaic. 

As far as Tyre is concerned, the second coinage, 
which lasted from B. C. 151/150 (A.S. 162) until 
B.C. 126/125 (A.S. 187), may well be said to have 
begun and ended with Cleopatra. This infamous 
woman, successively the wife of Alexander Balas, 
Demetrius II and Antiochus VII, granted Tyre its 
freedom as a reward for the murder of her second 
husband. Her twenty-five years of political intrigue 
cover the period of the second coinage. 

Both silver and copper coins were issued, the for- 
mer certainly in abundance. No gold has come to 
light. The silver denominations are the tetra- 
drachm, the didrachm the drachm and the half 
drachm. The copper, following the very wise prec- 
edent of Mr. Newell, are the chalkous, the hemi- 
chalkous, the dilepton and possibly the lepton. 

The prototype of the silver coins is the ordinary 
Lagid tetradrachm of the Ptolemaic Kings in 
Egypt. The obverse is always the king’s portrait 
and the reverse is the eagle on the prow of a galley 
with a palm-branch except in the case of the single 
half drachm known. 

The copper, in contrast with the usual practice of 
the Seleucids, has a different type for each denomina- 
tion, although the obverse is always the King’s 


4 THE SECOND AND ‘THIRD 


portrait. The largest denomination, which is con- 
veniently called the chalkous, has on the reverse the 
stern of a galley, usually ornamented with the aph- 
laston, the half chalkous has the prow and palm, the 
dilepton has the palm tree with fruit, and the lepton 
a club, which appears on a single example Be 
to Antiochus IV in my collection. 

In view of the difference of this coin I have 
thought it right to assign the lepton (prow and 
palm—caps of Dioskouroi) to the mint of Tripolis 
and to find a rudder rather than a prow on the coins. 

The distinction of type for different denominations 
is markedly Phoenician and does not obtain in the 
money of other Seleucid mints. A persistent feat- 
ure, especially of the obverse, is a border of dots. 
This stands out in sharp contrast with the bead and 
reel border, which was becoming more and more 
popular upon the monies of Attic weight. 

It is worth while noting that there exists a tetra- _ 
drachm of the Phoenician type of Ptolemy Philo- 
metor of the year B. C. 148 with a monogram, which 
appears to indicate Ptolemais. It is obviously con- 
nected with the expedition, which he made into 
Palestine and Phoenicia to bring to his senses” 
Alexander Balas, whose dissolute life threatened 
disaster. The Phoenician mints were in some 
degree disorganized and a Sidon tetradrachm of 
Attic weight, remains as witness. Certainly the 
coins of this year are the rarest in the reign of 
Alexander. 

The mint of Tyre had its own idea of the 2 ist 


6 THE SECOND AND THIRD 


At all events the same standard was continued,* 
even after Tyre regained its freedom, upon autono- 
mous issues and so long as Imperial Rome authorized 
silver monies (always provided that the tetra- 
drachms, ranging from Wespasian to Trajan are 
rightly attributed to Tyre) with the single exception 
of what I have ventured to call the third Seleucid 
Coinage of Tyre. 

There is however one problem, the most tantaliz- 
ing of all. That problem is the interpretation of 
the monograms, which occur upon the coins through- 
out. They are not numerous and are easy to 
classify. On the other hand, if once they were 
really understood, they: would throw a flood of light 
of the utmost value upon the monetary arrange- 
ments of the Seleucid Kings. 

The following table shews all that have come to 
light. 


*In the Catalogue des Rois de Syrie a tetradrachm of 
Alexander Balas (no. 887), although described as a Phoe- 
nician tetradrachm is stated to weigh 16 gr. 10. As this, 
if true, would open up an insoluble problem, I wrote to 
M. Babelon, suggesting it was probably a misprint. With 
that kindness—to which I personally owe so much—he 
replied immediately, ‘‘ Le poids est, non pas de 16 gr. 10, 
comme il est imprimé, mais de 14 gr. 10. Il y a la une 
simple faute d’impression, puisque la piéce est classée et 
décrite parmi les tetradrachmes de poids phénicien, et non 
pas attique: la correction s’impose d’elle-méme.”’

Before considering these monograms in detail, 
there is one fact that should be noted. They occur 
solely upon the silver money. No bronze of Tyre 
has any monogram, which could possibly refer to a 
monetary official. This has an important conse- 
quence. Babelon (p. cxxiv), discusses the meaning 
of the monogram € and shews that it is the 
monogram of the word IEPA, so that with the 
other constant monogram a¥ and the club sur- 
mounted by ¥ we have an abbreviated form of the 
full legend TYPOY JEPAX KAI AX YAOY. 
This is of course established by a remarkable tetra- 
drachm and didrachm (see Catalogue of Types, be- 
low, nos. 39, 40). 

Such monograms and such a legend, he goes on to 
say, clearly indicate a royal mint. Where the coins 
read T'YPIQN then they are issued by municipal 
authority. With that observation I entirely agree. 
It therefore follows that in the second coinage of 
Tyre no Seleucid King ever issued a bronze coin, and 
that there must have been entirely different con- 


SELEUCID COINAGE OF TYRE 9 


ditions for silver from bronze. This is in no way 
modified by the fact that there are certain bronze 
coins of very low denomination (cf. Catalogue of 
type nos. 26, 42, 45, 47, 96) of which the flans are ob- 
viously too small to admit the word TYPIQN but 
they shew neither ¢ nor at. 
It may be taken for certain then that the Seleucid 
King was only concerned with the silver issues from 
the Tyrian mint. Either the right of coining bronze 
was of little moment or its intrinsic value was so 
slight as to obviate fraud. Judging from the extra- 
ordinary fluctuations in weight of what apparently 
are the same denominations in the whole of the 
Seleucid coinage, as well as in other series of Greek 
bronze, the conclusion is inevitable that the bronze 
coinage must have represented an arbitrary value 
and been in the nature of a ‘‘token’’ coinage, a 
position still actually existing today. I recently 
weighed a five shilling bag of English pennies, all 
current and in mint condition with the unexpected 
result that their margin of variation was more than 
20 grains. 

The presence, then, of a monogram on the silver 
coins may mean that the Seleucid King intended to 
fix the responsibility for their fineness upon some- 
body, who might be brought to book for defaulting. 
While that is true of other Seleucid mints, e. g. An- 
tioch, I hope to shew why it was not true at Tyre. 
Again, as in no case does more than one monogram 
appear upon a coin, it follows that the responsibility 
might be fixed upon a particular individual or a 


10 THE SECOND AND THIRD 


definite quarter. In the Mint of Antioch and else- 
where two or three persons sign the monies: but at 
Tyre a simpler method obtains. Each coin is 
referable to a single individual or a single quarter. 
That was a distinctly sound business procedure, 
appropriate to the Semitic instincts of those in 
authority at Tyre. | 
So much is clear, the rest is conjecture. The 
monograms may stand for officinae as Mr. G. F. 
Hill suggests in the B.M.C. for Phoenicia, or they 
may stand for monetary officials of one sort or 
another. Normally the table of monograms sug- 
gests that during the days of Alexander Balas and 
the first reign of Demetrius II, there were two au- 
thorities responsible, and in the time of Anti- 
ochus VII and Demetrius II (second reign) three. 
When circumstances demanded, more were added. 
Whether these authorities, officials or officinae func- 
tioned simultaneously or consecutively is net clear. 
From this point the problem thickens. A cursory 
examination of the Table shews that for some con- 
siderable time Fe and & held the ground, and 
that Fe ZBM from the beginning of the reign of 
Antiochus VII to the end of the series carried on. 
Personally I am inclined to believe that B® and 
23; = and M respectively represent the same 
signature. Whether I am right in this or not, at 
least it is certain that three of these signatures con- 
tinued to Roman times long after the Seleucid Mint 
of Tyre was closed and forgotten. Thus Fr runs 
from 149/8 B.C. to 123/2: ZB from 139/8 B.C. to 


SELEUCID COINAGE: OF TYRE II 


107/6 and M from 151/o0 B.C. to 103/2. hat is 
rather a wonderful record. There is of course 
nothing inherently impossible in such lengths of 
service, and they might be paralleled by many in- 
stances in individual cases from many mints, but 
I confess that the longevity of the three principal 
officials of the Mint of Tyre arouses my suspicions. 
One patriarch in the service is conceivable but that 
all the principal officers should have put in forty 
years’ work is a big proposition to accept. Of 
course it may be true that a monetary magistracy 
was an hereditary affair and descended from father 
to son, and in that case the difficulties of time are 
overcome: but there is not as yet a scrap of evidence 
to prove it so. 

The theory that these monograms stand for 
officinae, though in some ways attractive, bristles 
with difficulties. Fr is perplexing. A digamma at 
this date is almost inconceivable, for what then 
could Fe stand? I venture a suggestion, though it 
may appear in the nature of the wildest guess. The 
Semitic word for “‘first’’ is NWN, which would be 
written at this date in Tyre approximately thus 
Liw¥1. The first two letters are perilously like 
the monogram Fr. Possibly then these constant 
monograms are intended to represent serial issues, 
covering certain periods in the year. 

The objection to regarding them as the signatures 
of magistrates has already been noted, the argu- 
ments for rejecting them as the marks of officinae 
are even more cogent. A careful examination of 


12 THE SECOND AND THIRD 


the dies reveals the fact that the same obverse dies 
are combined both in the Seleucid and in the auto- 
nomous mints with reverses bearing different mono- 
grams, working strictly within the circumference 
of the three more or less constant monograms. Al- 
though, there are, no doubt, many other examples, 
perhaps the following will be sufficient to prove the 
point. My drachm of C EP with the monogram 
KB has an obverse identical with that illustrated 
in the Fenerley Bey Catalogue, 705 with the mono- 
gram Fe. Mr. Newell has two tetradrachms of 
Demetrius IT of the year Z&:P with identical obverse 
dies but with reverses bearing the monograms OB 
and Fp. 

In the autonomous series it is hardly worth while 
to detail instances: a glance at the B.M.C. (Phoe- 
nicia) will shew that they abound. The conclusion 
is inevitable. Different officinae would not use the 
same dies. Whatever else the monograms stand 
for, they do not stand for officinae. I am equally 
certain that they do not stand for magistrates. The 
conclusion to which I am forced is that the munici- 
pality of Tyre accepted the responsibility for the 
issue of all monies: for the bronze they had to render 
no account: for the silver they were referable to the 
Seleucid King, just so far as he had power to compel. 
When that power was stable they issued monies 
with the constant monograms, indicating periods of 
issue rather than responsible officials: and the same 
die might easily serve for more than one period 
through material overlapping and in the two cases 


SELEUCID COINAGE OF TYRE 13 


I have quoted, the signatures are the same viz: BB 
and Fp. 

It remains then to try and explain the other 
monograms. I suggest that the municipality 
farmed out part of the coinage and the monogram 
stands for the individual, who had bought or other- 
wise secured the contract. Such an opportunity 
for profit would be quite in keeping with Semitic 
character. Individual enterprise no less in ancient 
days than in modern has turned a state controlled 
concern from a dead loss into a paying business. 
The silver mines in Spain will occur as an example, 
apposite because it was these very Phoenicians of 
Tyre and Sidon, who were interested. The Roman 
State found it paid better to farm them out than 
to work them on their own account. 

It is further quite natural to assume that before 
the municipality settled into its stride and realised 
its privilege of striking coins and even afterwards, 
when its own machinery was inadequate to meet 
the demand, it went outside its own arrangements 
to supplement its issues. The monograms extant 
in the early days of Alexander Balas bear this out, 
and an interesting parallel can be found in recent 
British coinage. In 1918 the royal mint could not 
cope with the demand for copper. Part of the 
enormous issue necessary was struck at two private 
mints. Messrs. Heaton of Birmingham and the 
King’s Norton Copper Company were pressed into 
the service and some of the pennies of 1918 and 
I919 are marked with the letters H or K.N. to 


14 THE SECOND AND THIRD| 


indicate the source of their manufacture.. The 
coins of Tyre bearing monograms other than the 
two early constant and the three later constant 
monograms are infrequent and so suggest some 
arrangement.of this sort. : 

There-is only one further point to notice about the 
second coinage. In the year BOP, that is B.C. 140 
or A.S. 172 a tetradrachm and a didrachm of an 
unusual type were issued. The tetradrachm is il- 
lustrated in Bab. Pl. XX., 3. On the reverse in the 
left field is a substantial club instead of the usual 
club, surmounted with * , and in the field right 
below the date is the monogram. Most remarkable 
of all, the circular legend reads BAXIAKQX AH- 
MHTPIOY as usual, but within it is a second legend 
in smaller characters, which reads TYPOY IEPA 
KAI AX YAOY. .The monogram is 4. There is 
also a didrachm of the same year, probably reading 
for monogram Fp . 

It is impossible to account for the change. It 
may have been an experiment to gratify the young 
king, who was beginning to assert himself or it 
may have been some commemorative issue. The 
fact that it was not continued seems to prove that 
it lacked popular acceptance. It is entirely confined 
to one year and judging from its extreme rarity 
it must have been a very small issue. 

My conclusion of the matter is that the three 
constant monograms indicate the yearly order of 
issue of the monies, something like the Amphora 
letters on the Athenian coins, or the months on the 


SELEWCID COINAGE OF TYRE 15 


Parthian, or to come right up to date like the figures 
3.4.5, which were placed below the date of the 
English pennies of 1863 in order to indicate a con- 
secutive series of issues.

* Coins of Antiochus VII dated AIIP have been published 
(Rouvier, nos. 1916-7, Bunbury Cat. II, 556). As An- 
tiochus was killed in Parthia in ['IIP these coins, if ever 
they were struck, must have been struck after his death. 
But AIIP is so easily mistaken for AIIP that it may fairly 
be concluded that these particular coins really read AIIP. 
Especially is this the case as we have a large series of coins 
struck by Demetrius at Tyre in T'IIP, and it is not con- 
ceivable that this mint should have struck monies for both 
Antiochus VII and Demetrius II for more bie <5 a year after 
the former’s death!

BEGAL (TYPES IN THE THIRD 
COINAGE. 


I have ventured to put in a class by themselves 
certain very exceptional tetradrachms and drachms 
bearing the symbols and the monograms of the 
Mint of Tyre, but instead of the usual eagle the 
Regal types of Athene and Zeus. The weights are 
Attic and not Phoenician. Evidently it was a small 
issue, because most of the few dates known today 
are represented by single specimens. 

Mr. G. F.Hill in the Introduction to the British 
Museum Catalogue of Phoenicia says, ‘‘It is notice- 

* Bab. 1246-8 belong to Demetrius’ first reign and 


probably also Hunter 90/41 of which only H - P of the 
date is visible. 


30 THE SECOND AND THIRD 


able, also, that the Phoenician silver bears (in ad- 
dition to the mint-mark or name of Tyre) mono- 
grams similar to those we find on the later autono- 
mous silver; but the Attic is not marked in this 
way. ... Since the coinage with Seleucid types 
on the reverse does not bear these monograms, it 
may have been struck in metal drawn from the 
royal, as distinct from the Tyrian, treasury.” 

In this statement he is however misinformed. All 
the coins bear such monograms, and Fp , * and M™ 
are represented. These coins occur in the reigns of 
Antiochus VII and Demetrius II (second reign); 
and since tetradrachms of Phoenician weight were 
also struck not only in the same years, but actually 
with the same monograms in some cases, the only 
suggestion I can offer is that the Seleucid King for 
his own reasons interfered in the routine otherwise 
usual in the Mint of Tyre. A similar phenomenon 
is much more common in the Mint of Sidon and 
from Alexander Balas until Antiochus IX tetra- 
drachms of Attic weight and regal types appear side 
by side with the characteristically Phoenician issues. 
It should be noted that in all these regal issues 
the portrait of the king is an actual and nowise 
idealized portrait of Herakles Melquart, vid No. 131, 
where Demetrius II wears a beard. It is con- 
ceivable that the exigencies of trade with the rest 
of the Seleucid Empire rendered such ‘‘equated”’ 
money advisable, and avoided the necessity of 
tarifing the common monies. 

I have not been able to trace any copper issues; 


See COINAGE OF TYRE 31 


but if it is sound that the copper coinage was in the 
form of a token coinage—and this the notable dif- 
ference in weight throughout the whole Seleucid 
series, in denominations apparently the same, as | 
have already said, makes extremely likely—then there 
would naturally be no necessity for any sort of 
equation beyond mutual goodwill and understand- 
ing between all parties concerned. As it was a 
municipal issue the Seleucid king was not concerned. 
The Catalogue of the series is as follows:—

In the foregoing lists the classification of the coin- 
age of Tyre has been extended from the point at 
which Mr. Newell left it down through the second 
reign of Demetrius II with whom the issues of this 
dynasty at Tyre came to an end (125 B.C.). Cer- 
tain of the troublesome questions of this series will 
probably never be settled unless some hoard still 
to be unearthed provides additional evidence.
